If I resign immediately due to work pressure, would I pay compensation?

Dear Questioner,

If you are not willing to serve the notice period, then the company can claim payment in lieu of notice, if the same is mentioned in your employment contract.

Otherwise, if your employer accepts your resignation, then you can leave the job without paying any amount to the company.

If you need further clarification regarding the procedures, we will schedule a legal consultation session.

Share your WhatsApp number if you want to proceed.

Dear Questioner,

If there is a breach of contract and you are feeling mentally stressed due to work pressure, you can complain about it before MOHRE.

If you feel you want to leave the company without fulfilling the notice period, then you can make payment for the notice period as payment in lieu of notice to the employer and cancel the visa.

Make sure that the payment made is through a bank transfer if the employer has agreed to leave without serving a notice period.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Based on the information provided, in the UAE, resigning without notice may result in penalties or compensation owed to the employer.

However, if you're facing unbearable work pressure and wish to resign immediately, it's advisable to discuss the situation with your employer first.

If they agree, you may be able to negotiate an amicable departure without penalties. If not, consult us as a legal expert to explore your options.

For further information, you can contact us through WhatsApp.

Thanks & Regards,
